Post From Jamie: Kycie finally has a sister!!! Meet "Bell". The newest member of our family!!

As usual at the Terry house, Santa's sleigh crashed in our living room. Kycie loved her new cache of Beanie Boos. She was also excited to get her very own make-up kit. She spent the morning putting on make up, just like mom. When she was done marking up her face, gave her cousins a make over and then her 90+ year old great grandma. She was covered in make up when she was told there was a surprise at the door.

The boys made it to the door first. Kycie wasn't far behind. In the video 'Kycie 5 years old' you can see the look on her face. Classic Kycie. Excited beyond belief, but contained to a simple smile and crinkled nose. The little puppy had a collar with bells on it. When we asked Kycie what she wanted to name it, she said, "Bell."

A Little About Us —

Josh Terry grew up in Richfield, Utah. Jamie King Terry grew up in Monroe, Utah. Although the towns are only a few miles apart, they never met until the summer of 2000. They were married in 2001 in the Mt. Timpanogos, LDS temple. The couple started a family quickly, Bryton was born September 2002 and Treyton in September 2003. That same year Josh started optometry school in Fullerton, CA where the family lived for the next 4 years. Daxton was born in February 2006 and Keaton in 2007.

The family finished school in the summer of 2007 and moved to Bullhead City, AZ. They were living in AZ when they were blessed with their first and only girl. Kycie was born in October, 2009.

In 2010 the family moved to St. George, Utah and added another little boy to the family. Boston was born in June, 2013.

In January, 2015 Kycie began to complain of a stomach ache and head ache. After 5 days she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and a blood glucose level of 1048, normal is 90-110. She was LifeFlighted to Salt Lake City and suffered two seizures and fell into a coma. After reviewing an MRI, doctors told Josh and Jamie that the high glucose caused Kycie's brain to swell and ultimately resulted in severe brain damage. Kycie was not expected to survive, and if she did it was likely she would have little to no quality of life due to the severity of her injury.
